Tips: Blaster Engine

Llew and Friends are finally back with

even more blaster support!

With the release of GBT-06 Royal Paladin decks got a HUGE boost of power with the new Favored Pupil of Light and Dark, Llew. It tutors any Grade 2 Blaster at the cost of itself during the battle phase. It is just plain awesome. And guess what? There isn't that little Generation Break restriction on it. Think of it like a Knight of Twin Sword, but with loads more utility.

The only problem about Llew? Blaster Blade is about $15-20 (Lucky you if you held on to your copies all these years.) But fear not! Your wallets will be safe, my fellow Royal Paladin players, and you will not be denied your new support. We have another, more budget-friendly option.

Budget Deck: Royal Paladins (Sanctuary Guard)

Oh my God I have been so looking forward to writing this.

Sanctuary Guard, an Archtype that has been out for a very long time now (Withought any direct support) suddenly got an amazing new support in FC 2015. Holy Dragon, Sanctuary Guard Regalie is a fantastic card. No, like seriously. It's one of the best Strides in the game so far. A deck focused on this guy can be scary, and due to the reason that most of their cards aren't foils (RR or higher) this build is fairly budget.

The only problem? Sanctuary Guard Dragon is $20 and the most consistent way to call Grade 1s to the field right now is Swordmy who has a fairly expensive price right now and sucks at being available.

Because of that I have, during the past few months, been looking for another consistent way to search out Grade 1s and, apparantly, RP has more than one ways of doing that. It was preety easy building a deck withought Swordmy.


The only problem left was how to bypass the original Sanctuary Guard Dragon... And I tried out a Sanctuary Guard deck with only Guarantee, and while the 10k base does hurt, I don't care. It worked a lot better than I expected. While Dragon does work better, this is equally as good. This deck, my friends, is the incarnation of pure rushing. Welcome to Sanctuary Regalie.
